"…sure that neither of you were up?"

"Naw, man, I was asleep all night. You can check the security cameras if you want."

"Huh…could've sworn I heard…ah well, let's check…"

The boys were in deep conversation when I arrived in the main room later that morning. Starfire hadn't shown yet, so I figured that she was still asleep. I meandered to the stove and set the kettle on, half-listening to the male Titans talk.

"Ah, see, it's just…" Cyborg cut himself off suddenly.

"You're just a bit upset that the subject isn't you."

Whatjida…?

"Well, that's it, isn't it?"

"…I suppose that you are right."

Sweet Azar! I could hear Beast Boy's nasty little cackle as they continued to listen. At the same time I felt the familiar sensation of a vein pulsing in my temple. I looked over my shoulder; Robin stared up at the screen, eyes a bit wide.

"I wouldn't worry about it. Like you said, he does care deeply about you. He took you in…"

"Aw man!" Cyborg snorted. "Do you know who they're talking about?"

"I have one wild guess," Beast Boy giggled. Robin's face flushed.

"…Come to think of it, Cyborg's just about as protective of Beast Boy…"

Cyborg and Beast Boy suddenly stopped laughing. "Huh?"

This is my chance…quick, something within arm's reach…ah, rolling pin!

I levitated up behind them, weapon concealed within my cloak. "Good morning, boys." The android and the changeling spun around quickly, but they were a bit too late.

Whack. "THAT"—Whack.—"IS"—Whack.—"A"—Whack.—"PRIVATE"—Whack.—"CONVERSATION!" Whop!

They turned off the video pretty soon afterward.

XXXXX

Starfire came downstairs a little while later. I personally made sure that the boys were on their best behavior and didn't mention that they had a tape of our late night talk. Beast Boy and Cyborg fought about/made breakfast, per usual…but I noticed that Robin had pulled Starfire aside at one point to talk about something. I could only hope that all would go well.

I also noticed that Beast Boy and Cyborg were careful enough to sit on opposite ends of the table when I came back with my tea.
